Why are so many people outraged that Susan Smith didn't get the electric chair? Why are we so shocked? Every day in this country 4,000 unborn babies are killed in the womb. Many children, in and out of the womb, are abused and killed every day.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, in a prayer breakfast in Washington, D.C., a few years ago, stated that abortion is a main cause of the violence in our society. When we kill the most vulnerable among a people, the unborn, why are we so outraged at Susan Smith?
